Volume II of The Complete Sherlock Holmes begins with The Return of Sherlock Holmes, in which Arthur Conan Doyle resurrects his famous detective after he had killed him off in the last tale in The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes (found in Volume I of The Complete Sherlock Holmes). The first story in The Return features the famously inventive explanation of how Holmes escaped certain death. Along with His Last Bow, The Case Book of Sherlock Holmes, and The Valley of Fear, this collection also includes a pair of parodies, "The Field Bazaar" and "How Watson Learned the Trick," and two essays about the "private life" of the beloved sleuth.
